Trial Description
Title
Participatory development and evaluation of a multimodal concept for violence prevention in nursing homes
Trial Acronym
PEKo 1.0
URL of the Trial
Brief Summary in Lay Language
In the project, individual violence prevention concepts and action guidelines are developed, which are then transferred into practice and tested for their effectiveness. The special feature of the project is that all measures are developed in close cooperation with the employees of the participating inpatient long-term care facilities, so that tailor-made and facility-specific concepts and measures are created. Working meetings are held monthly at the facilities.
As part of the prevention program, caregivers are to be sensitized to the topic, measures are to be developed jointly, and these measures are to be implemented as sustainably as possible in the structure of the facility. The basic principles of transparency, participation, a systematic approach and sustainability are decisive for the project.
One of the fields of action explicitly identified in the "Guidelines for Prevention in Inpatient Care" of the GKV-Spitzenverband is the prevention of violence in care. To date, however, there is no reliable evidence of the effectiveness of such prevention programs.
The aim of the project is therefore to sustainably reduce all forms of violence in all directions and at all levels by raising the awareness and actionability of nursing and care staff. Through the active participation of the employees, a sustainable effect of the developed measures is expected, which will be scientifically evaluated.
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
Summary
Violence towards persons in need of care, but also towards caregivers, is reported for inpatient care facilities. With the project PEKo-Participative Development and Evaluation of a multimodal concept for violence prevention in nursing homes, employees in care homes are sensitised to the topic of violence prevention. Using a participatory approach, interventions to prevent violence are developed, implemented, and scientifically evaluated.
Background
Violence against older people is defined by the WHO as a single or repeated act, but also an omission of required actions, which can lead to harm or suffering for the persons affected. Different perceptions of violence and the taboo status of the topic lead to the conclusion that the number of unreported incidents of violence is high. The promotion of violence prevention in care facilities is one of the focal points of the prevention services of the long-term care insurance funds. In this context, proposals for improving the health situation are to be developed and implemented with the participation of the persons in need of care and the facilities.
Objective
The aim of the PEKo project is to develop a sustainable violence prevention concept in the participating facilities. The guiding principles are transparency and participation, a systematic approach and sustainable integration into the structures of the facilities.
Intervention
Kick-off events in the participating facilities
Appointment of a PEKo representative per participating facility.
Formation of a PEKo team within each facility
Formation of a cross-institutional PEKo circle
Structured survey of staff as baseline, interim and final survey
Conduct monthly PEKo meetings in the facilities
Conduct quarterly, cross-facility PEKo circles
Developing, evaluating, and adapting facility-specific interventions and guidelines for action
Develop a culture of solution-oriented processing of reported incidents of violence in the facilities.
Developing and applying a facility-specific training concept
Counselling offered by project staff to PEKo representatives and PEKo teams.
Evaluation
Data sources of the scientific evaluation are:
Data from the standardised surveys at the time points T0, T1 and T2.
Documentation of incidents of violence
Observation and reminder protocols of the PEKo meetings and PEKo circles.
Data from structured surveys on residents' quality of life
Focus group interviews with residents (alternatively residents' representatives), relatives and staff on the culture of violence in the facilities
Focus group interviews on process evaluation with PEKo representatives, staff in the PEKo teams and senior staff.
Do you plan to share individual participant data with other researchers?
